Is CNN Promoting Voting Machines?
According to what I have been hearing on CNN, it appears as if they are trying to convince their viewers the new voting machines are the best way to vote today?! They are more accurate than paper, etc.?! Paper trails not very good? Who said that? Voting machine VIP?! Where is the other side of the story?

I just got home from work, I am very tired. Did I dream this, or are they trying to convince people the machines are best?!

They will never convince me!

1. I Agree
I agree That Touch screen voting machines are vulnerable. I think a Print out receipt would be a bill help. I researched most voting machines after the repukes stole election in 2000. I found that the average percentage of margin of error or irregularities is between 2.4% to 3.3% across the board. But Punch card ballot error rate is 3.2% they also put the Human Error rate at close to 5.6% My biggest argument with smart card touch screen systems that human poll workers get your card after you vote and who knows what happens to the card after you leave your precinct especially in a heavily one sided party like repukes.

Example - heavy republican precinct takes in 4500 votes repuke and 1500 for democrat. I wouldn't be surprised with those evil repukes just erased the 1500 Dem votes
